An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green is a young adult contemporary with a mix of science fiction. The book was published last year under Dutton.
The story follows our main character April May and her group of young adult friends as they uncover the mystery of Carl, an unknown ten-foot-tall Transformer-like contraption wearing a Samurai suit. The Carls, yes, because they appear all over the world; are things humans have never seen before. April May was said to be the first to discover them in one of the streets in New York and eventually became a celebrity worldwide because of this. The story follows how fame changed the life of our characters, the mysteries behind these Carls and bunch of more complicated consequences revolving around them.
